The Intercontinent Corporation have several
assembly plants in various parts of China. Hostilities have
interfered with the operations of some of them, thus making
equipment and labour available which under ordinary circum-
stances could not be had so promptly.
It is my conviction that, given a prompt reply
from the Secretary of State, we could turn out planes
for the British Government in a British Colony by a British
Company as quickly as they can get them from a foreign
country, which prompts me to approach you again.
